Zxing.Net.Mobile barcode app not accessing Lumia 650 camera - c#

I am currently using a Microsoft Lumia 650 with Windows 10 Mobile and I am having issues with implementing a Zxing.Net.Mobile barcode app. The issue is the camera does not appear to be used and I was wondering what could be the issue.
I have tested this same app on a developer version of windows 10 and it worked fine. I have the phone in developer mode as well as set the setting in the camera privacy settings to allow apps to use the camera.
The code that I am using is the same as the Sample Windows Phone Application listed at https://github.com/Redth/ZXing.Net.Mobile/tree/master/Samples/WindowsUniversal/Sample.WindowsUniversal.
If anyone has any experience with this or information on how to fix this issue, I would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks.
EDIT: The exact issue I am getting is that once you select an option to scan, the layout loads up but there is a white background where the cameras' visual should be. Also, the app does not show up in my "Choose apps that can use your camera" in the privacy/camera settings.

Image Capture in Windows 8.1 C# Application

I have a Desktop Based piece of Touch Screen Software. As part of the process you capture a photo of the user to store later on. The Application works perfectly fine in all versions of Windows other than Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro 3 (seems to be machines with Metro on).
When it comes to Windows 8.1 the Application Captures the image with no issues. When you then go back to the page to capture again it is unable to grab the camera to take another photo?
Using the Camera Capture in Windows 8.1 itself uses the camera with no issues again. Restarting the Surface Pro allows the camera to work in the application again for one instance and then stops again.
I've tried scouring the web but not having much luck so far. We're using the DirectShow lib
Any advice/ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Lock screen notification not working on store build (Windows Phone 8)

We have a Windows Phone 8 game which includes text notifications on the lock screen. When we test the app on our devices the notifications work fine, and the app can be selected in the lock screen settings to display notification text. However, once the app is uploaded to the Windows Phone store and downloaded, the app is not listed in the settings for the lock screen, so can't be selected to show lok screen notifications. Has anyone else had this problem or might know why it's happening? I was thinking it was possibly something to do with the downloaded version being installed in the 'games' folder on the device, whereas the working test version is just listed in the main list of apps.
It turns out that this is a limitation with Windows Phone 8. Games cannot use lock screen notifications. From the Windows Phone developer forums:
I was hoping to find out WHY this limitation exists and if there was any way around this for you. Unfortunately it appears to be just a limitation that games cannot have lock screen notifications. You would either need to NOT post your game into the Games hub and make it an App, or not have a lock screen notification.
There was no indication that this would be changed in the near future, but I have made them aware of this issue and hopefully they will look into modifying this in a future update.

This is a library which has proven to work on WP7 so i'm guessing it will work on WP8 aswell.
It main purpose was augmented reality but its a "vision" library which means you can probably do loads of other vision commands (labelblobs, invert colors etc..)

It looks like MSDN has a number of articles that should help you on your way:
Adapt Your App (vague overview)
Adaptable Apps For Windows Mobile explains various techniques for supporting dynamic screens
The Mobile Client Software Factory provides a pattern for helping with dynamic screens
Finally, Windows Marketplace for Mobile: Certification Testing, Hopper, and Multiple Screen Support provides some fairly up to date information on the certificate requirements for the WM6 marketplace as they relate to dynamic screens.

Windows 7 tablet development help and guidance

I am facing a tiny development project for an Intel Atom based Windows 7 tablet Motion LE1600 or a Fujitsu 5112.
I have never done Windows tablet development. My main concern is what are my options here? I am looking towards a pure managed solution using NET 4 and WPF. Is that possible?
Does Windows 7 tablet fall into a category of mobile development?
Any help is appreciated. I could not find many online resources describing these topics.
Here in this portal you will find some example with WPF and tablets and here with more explanation.
